DARTMOUTH, Mass. — Former New England Patriots’ star tight end Aaron Hernandez was indicted Thursday afternoon on charges of assault and battery and threats to do bodily harm, authorities said.

The charges stem from Hernandez’ involvement in an alleged assault inside the Bristol County House of Corrections on Feb. 25 and an alleged threat made in the jail on Nov. 1, according to a news release by the office of Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter.

Hernandez will be arraigned on the charges in the Fall River Justice Center, but his appearance hasn’t been scheduled, the release said.

Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder in the death in June 2013 of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd of Boston. Lloyd was killed in North Attleboro.
